alright, now i understand better about the autoupdate.

no, I love autopdates, so im set.

im just overly happy when another trekgame is on its way to being released and I get to betatest it!

edit

This is amazing... very well done!

im impressed!

keep it up!

Well, you can try unzipping DLLs into the game directory and crossing your fingers. I doubt it will work, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

yep a good start and looking to be a good game, even the music is working, just a comment on the system production, on the build componant info you could just do with a slide bar thier so you can click down to see the rest of the info

Thanks for the DLLs, they did something, before it just crashed now it opens a command window, blinks and gives a trace log. So at least thats a good start

Error at element 'Label' in markup file 'masterwindow.xaml' : Unable to load DLL 'MilCore.dll': The specified module could not be found

and

Unable to load DLL 'MilCore.dll

are the two errors, minus the chunks in the middle

I shall find this elusive Milcore.dll

edit: just checked its part of winfx so if anyone knows of a way to get SP2 as a whole and not in parts i'd be more then happy

windows update keeps breaking it up.

For cdrwolfe and anyone else living in the dark ages:



Good luck--I hope it works for you this time. And I hope you have broadband .

lol i went to that one first thing but then it went on about warnings anf then how i shouldn't download it as a single user etc, and it being Microsoft i wouldn't be surprised if it deleted my harddrive

anyway downlaoding now, be it on your head mstrobel..... your.... HEAAAAAD!!!

8O uh oh... but if I lose my head, my teammates for this project will be screwed!

The music was donated--and by donated, I mean I used it without permission--from X3: Reunion. It's just temporary so I have something to listen to while I test it. I may try to recruit my music professor at the university to write some music for it, but he probably has more profitable things to do . There's not really much to see at the moment other than what's in those screenshots, but seeing as I have to take more screenshots for my status report this morning anyway, I'll see what I can do.

System view



Huge



Expansion

Wow, remind me to post the correct font. Whatever typeface is getting rendered is huge--looks like 16pt Tahoma or something. In case you were wondering, the text isn't supposed to wrap and get cut off like that .

I finally got my Vista up and running after some install and driver issues. I've been running it continuously for about 14 hours now with only one crash - that was my fault. I've actually installed enough software to use this as my main OS, after all it is big on the eye candy and the performance is quite nice as well.

Sometime tonight I'll be able to install all the required microsoft software and give the game a go to let you know how it runs!

New version published with proper installer and auto-updater. See the main thread post for a link and list of changes (under "Release Notes" at the bottom). PLEASE READ THE NOTES UNDER "TROUBLESHOOTING". It explains a rather annoying bug that might keep you from playing the game. I'll try to hunt down the problem as quickly as I can.

Cheers,
Mike
